November 2008 - APAC-Discuss

Vice Chair
by Karaitana Taiuru 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Further to our monthly phone conference (of which we required a Vice Chair for the last part), I would like to nominate Les Allinson from PICISOC for one of the 2 interim Vice Chair positions. There are several reasons for my nomination: 1. Such an appointment will truly reflect that we are an Asia "Pacific" representative organisation. 2. Les worked along side our former Chair Rajnesh of whom Les replaced as the ALS rep. 3.Les in proactively performing outreach in the Pacific for APRALO and is a pro active APRALO member. Regards, Karaitiana Taiuru

Tele-Conference tomorrow
by Pavan Budhrani 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Dear all, The APRALO tele-conference will be held tomorrow at 0500 UTC. Please take a look at the schedule before hand. One noticeable difference is that you can see a number next to each agenda item. This is the suggested time we should spend on each item. Many times we talk a lot about some items and some do not even get discussed. This way, we can cover all our agenda items. Looking forward to hearing from you all tomorrow. Thanks -- Pavan Budhrani Communications Manager, DotAsia Organisation

Automated translations for the APAC-Discuss list?
by Nick Ashton-Hart 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Dear APRALO members: I would like to try something with our new list translation interface, and set up Arabic, Chinese, and Russian language mailing lists connected to the current discuss list. What this would mean is that those who spoke those languages could subscribe to the list of their choice, write natively in that language, and the translation interface which ICANN has created would automatically translated their messages into English. The facility does not yet exist to translate directly from any of those languages to any of the other languages, so, there are definitely limits to what can be done. What do you all think? Is this worth trying out, understanding that there may be some issues? If you want to know more about the list translation inteface, see our homepage at www.atlarge.icann.org - the article is at http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-13oct08-en.htm and is itself translated. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director for At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA DD: +1 (310) 578-8637 Fax: +41 (22) 594-85-44 Mobile: +41 (79) 595 54-68 email: nick.ashton-hart(a)icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
